Marcil: Stepping It Up A Notch
Alright everyone in PV... from here on out. Now that I have been accepted in Argentis. I am going to try my absolute hardest to fight as well as I did at Clan. Which means, I'm going to start fighting as hard as the rest of Argentis on a regular basis. Which also means, I will not hold back on anyone, I will fight until I drop or until the other Argentis guys stop. I will be fighting by their side during battle games and ditches as much as possible. This means that I am going to be trying to fight very hard and increase my stamina so I can last longer during fighting. Which also means that I am going to try and dominate all tournaments. This also means I am going to try and earn my Warlord title. Which means I am going to try and head towards getting: "Sword Knight". Remember, this is not a joke, even if I don't win any nearby tournaments doesn't mean that I am going to stop... I am hearby dedicating myself to be a major "Stick-Jock". You can laugh if you want, especially when I get tired, but I am going to get better. Which means I will be training every weekend with my fellow Argentis companions, and like I said before, we are going to be a team, so watch out.
This statment is nothing to joke about, it's real, get over it, it's going to happen, if this scares you, then good, it should.

So you'll be showing up at
So you'll be showing up at fighter practice this week then I take it? I actually have some drills and things planned out that I want to work on this week. Also If you're interested in making a Pell let me know as it will definitely help. I spent several hours talking to various people at clan learning new shots and techniques that I will be working on over the next however long it takes to learn.
Fighter Practice
Working on some more anti-lefty maneuvers this week, Tiwaz? The champions tourney keeps getting closer.
I will try to show up to Fighter Practice on Thursday, and will especially be able to make it if I can get a ride home(yes, tell me if you are able to provide such a ride).
I didn't know you could make pells by hand, I think that would be an awesome thing to know how to do.
pell...?
Pell...? And Lurker, maybe, it'll have to wait for tomorrow. And yes I will be going to fighter practice...problem is, I don't want to fight Ash because he fights in a completely different way then everybody at Clan, so I'll learn nothing from flurb fighting. Which means I want to fight Tiwaz, Lurker, and maybe Walker, if I can get him to come out.
Actually I was thinking of
Actually I was thinking of how I could actually make fighter practice something where you might actually learn something (especially since it's one of the last ones I'll be in charge of this term) I came up with some ideas on how to do some new drills from what glen and I were talking about at clan. That said Styxx is the only other person who declared for Champion so I should probably get as much info on fighting lefties as I can...he's use to fighting right handed people I'm not so use to fighting left handed people. I don't even pass the cor pora test not to mention winning the tourney or getting Champion but at least I'm being active. I'll continue to run for GM of Warriors until someone who shows up (or will show up) wants the position.
If you ask I'll give you a ride home every week you show up, Marcil seems to be getting rides with Bob or his mom regularly now as long as I have my cell phone so it shouldn't be a problem.
As for building a pell it's not that hard to do but you do need some tools. I may or may not do a write up on how to make a cheap one (cost would depend on what you had laying around the house but I'd guestimate like 10-30 bucks) that should last years, if not I can help whoever wants one make one. We can discuss on Thursday if you're interested. Also you can go buy a used punching bag from play it again sports for like 20-50 bucks and simply use that.
Edit:
Marcil as for not fighting Ash thats up to you...but the question is can you beat him? If not find out why and learn from it, if you can kudos but perhaps you should have talked to Glen while you were at clan too. What I learned is even the biggest noob or flurb can be a great training partner.
That's bullshit. You learn
That's bullshit.
You learn just as much from fighting Ash as from fighting Tiwaz. The only difference is that since Ash has a more original fighting style, it's harder to adapt what you learn from him to suit more mainstream fighters. Ash isn't a flurb fighter, he's an original fighter. There are certain things you can learn from fighting him that you can't learn in other places.
Specifically, there are still some key skills you can improve by fighting Ash. For example, it improves your reaction time, you learn to close distance better, you learn to aim your shots better, and other things. You just have to analyze it some.
Fighting is not something where you can just do it over and over again to get better, you specifically have to think about what you want to improve on.
The corpora isn't that
The corpora isn't that complicated. If you still can't pass a test by next week, I'll help you a bit if I can.
Yeah, I totally want to make it to fighter practice. I felt pretty inspired by Clan.
@Tiwaz: So...why do I need
@Tiwaz: So...why do I need deer to pay for things?
@Lurker: Clan makes you want to slaughter things even more... I saw you on youtube in the tournament, fighting single sword.
That must have been last
That must have been last year. There wasn't a tourney this time.
Single Sword is my strong point, even though I've been sucking recently.
@Marcil: WHAT?????? wtf do
@Marcil: WHAT?????? wtf do deer have anything to do with anything?
@Lurker: 100% agree with everything you said and if Marcil won't fight Ash thats fine with me I don't mind fighting Ash one bit. As for Corpora help I think saturday is the last day I'll have to pass the test...If I fail the first one I may talk to you before the 2nd and 3rd. It's not that its complicated it's just a lot of info that I don't use on a weekly basis, like how many people are in the BOD and how many guards a Monarch can appoint...
yeah, some of those corpora
yeah, some of those corpora lines are fairly useless. Unfortunately, it depends entirely on who wrote the tests. I need to take one of those too.
I think F'lar wrote the
I think F'lar wrote the tests, or he acquired them...not sure. Guess it would just be nice to have a practice test or 10 to get some random questions like what I'd see on the real test. The last one I took I only answered maybe 10 questions and the rest were Greek to me.
@Tiwaz: you said "Bucks" as
@Tiwaz: you said "Bucks" as in "Male Deer", it's a joke.
@Lurker: Yeah, what I saw was last year
I can make practice tests.
I can make practice tests.
make one real quick then and
make one real quick then and I'll take it :P 10 questions is plenty if i don't get 7 right then I need to study more...I've basically only looked at the first few pages (was gonna take my corpora to clan but left it at home)
it'll have to wait like an
it'll have to wait like an hour, more or less. i'll post it here.
!!!...Mini-Corpora Test...!!!
1: How many officers are in “the Monarchy”, what are they classified as, and in what order do they rank from highest to lowest?
2: What are all of the responsibilities of the "Captain of the Guard"?
3: In Crown Qualifications, how many fighting events are required to be held, and what are their names?
4: What two people from the monarchy and what six elected members, form the BOD?
5: What are the (2) "Mundane Laws"?
6: If you are on "the Monarchy" and one of the six elected BOD members, how many votes do you get in a BOD meating?
7: If there is noone holding any position of "the Monarchy" at the beggining of a reign, how is this solved to where there is a Monarchy?
8: How many Members do you need to have a "Dutchy"?
9: If I am running for "heir apparant" and declare 1 week before the election, then turn 18 two days before the election, then get all the votes for the possition during the election, what happens?
10: If I am part of "the Monarchy" and I am doing the worst job in the world and people want to impeach me, what has to happen to get the impeachment to "act" and how can it be interviened?
---
I think I made a reasonable test for a 17 year old, with no expireance, have fun...
bah
double post = winrar
I'll print this and take it
I'll print this and take it tomorrow when i wake up...not gonna bother reading it right now as my eyes are barely open.
Thanks for taking the time to do it though :)
No problem, I just coulndt
No problem, I just couldn't find reasonable questions, so I read the corpora and took a swing at it... remember.. no cheating. XD
will you marcil,still do
will you marcil,still do archery in the battlegames?
Why? I'm already good at
Why? I'm already good at archery. I need to kick butt with swords. I will most likely be playing warrior from now on. I'm getting close to lvl 3, which means I get an extra life. I'm going for lvl 6. I'll let you get better at archery.
thanks marcil
thanks marcil
You know, cause how are you
You know, cause how are you going to get better at archery if I kill you before you even get a shot off... I may bring my bow for the very end of the day on saturday but thats it.
Dangit, I hate this. Every
Dangit, I hate this. Every time I watch Amtgard fighting and listen to Atreyu at the same time. It makes me want to fight so bad and try out new moves. Like right now, I want to fight sooo bad, I'm having a major craze for fighting right now!
Tiwaz, how was the test?
Tiwaz, how was the test?
AAAAAAAA
Marcil, quit being a n00b. Atreyu is mediocre.
Hey Lurker, stop being a
Hey Lurker, stop being a spaz. You are mediocre... You are such a poor quality "eveything".
Funny
Check your email, or better yet, sign up for a gmail account. I sent you an invite.
I sent u a g-mail...XD
I sent u a g-mail...XD
gmail ftw, as for the
gmail ftw, as for the test....I just printed it, I did however look over the questions and at least one of them is unanswerable...number 5 asks what are the 2 mundane laws there are a crap load of laws, I'll look at the corpora and see if it actually mentions 2 specifically. The first question should probably be 2 questions and I'm not sure what you mean by "what are they classified as" does that mean what's their function? guess it would just be worth multiple points...beyond that it looks easy enough, but I'm not done reading the corpora yet. I'll bring the test with my answers tomorrow and you can look it over, some I may not answer as I'm not sure what you mean in the question but I'll answer verbally. anyway gonna go watch never back down now and build 2 daggers and maybe a shield.
"classified as">(names)...in
"classified as">(names)...in order from highest to lowest.
!!!...In that fighting mood again...!!!
gotcha so monarch regent
gotcha so monarch regent champion gmr and PM....not sure which order those last 2 are in but I think I might have it right.
John, I might need help
John, I might need help building my strap shield...Would you help if I needed it?
AAAAA
I'll write up a more realistic test that you can take tonight.
There's fighter practice today, right?
@Marcil: ok then, what's your new email address? I'll add you to my contacts.
I added you already...
I added you already... "[removed]@gmail.com" and it says you are not online...and yes fighter practice starts at 6:00pm, I'll be there around that time. Walker twisted his wrist, so he can't come out.
Hrm...
Hrm...
It is possible that you added the wrong "me".
Gmail has a system where you can add "comment" to the end of your name. For example, when I post on the PV list, it uses my Amtgard account, which is "[removed]+amtgard@gmail.com". Because I have it do that, it lets me differentiate from amtgard and mundane mail.
I sent you an invite. You want to set up your contact with "[removed]@gmail.com", instead of the other one, because it doesn't like commenting in chat invites and such.
Damn people muttling up my contacts...
it says I added
it says I added richard.moehn@gmail.com
weird, because that doesn't
weird, because that doesn't exist.
Oh well.

Yes, I imagine so, even though it is not raining anymore.
It doesn't matter either way; the parks themselves are 20 seconds from each other.
wheres my real test
wheres my real test lurker!!!!! out comes the clan sword.
AAAAAAAa
Sorry.
I'll mail you a test tonight, when I finish with my stuff for tomorrow. I'm about half done, and the other stuff is a lot faster to work with/requires less huffing of fumes.
shrugs
Not really too worried about it...I have 3 chances to pass a test tomorrow. Not sure if I have to pass it tomorrow or just before the elections which would be next week. I read up as much as I could but it's pretty boring material. Honestly if I don't pass that's fine if I do that's great too. My email may be listed on the site here but if not its sodtiwaz@ the same email that you and marcil now have ;)
cool
Awesome. If you would like to Chat, I could quiz you real quick. Otherwise, I have to get back to work.
I failed horribly during this

Yes, I unexpectedly earned
Yes, I unexpectedly earned "Lord", which is one of the best things that has happened to me yet. It is one step closer to my goal!
Pizza
I like pizza.
Congratulations and such.
